TheOsing language (Osing:Basa Using;Indonesian:Bahasa Osing), locally known asbasa Banyuwangi, is the ModernJavanese dialect of theOsing people ofEast Java,Indonesia. The Osing dialect uses a special diphthongization (changing the vowel [i] to [ai] and the vowel [u] to [au]) which is not found in any Other Javanese dialects. They are primarily distributed inBanyuwangi Regency, but can also be found in the eastern part ofJember Regency, particularly in districts of Panti and Wuluhan.[1][2]
Some Osing words have the infix /-y-/ 'ngumbyah', 'kidyang', which are pronounced /ngumbah/ and /kidang/ in standardJavanese, respectively.[4]
A dictionary of the language was published in 2002 byHasan Ali, an advocate for the language's use in Banyuwangi.[5]
